Kylie Davis is the Proptech, Real Estate and Marketing Expert and Founder of Australia's First Proptech Association and this year sees the launch of the first Proptech Awards. It is a space that is super busy with new products emerging weekly. There is also a converging of Proptech and Fintech products all supposedly designed to make life easier for the end user - our client. In this podcast Kylie and I talk about why the Proptech association is important and the role that they are playing in supporting emerging technology. As well as how the awards will help these brands raise their profile across the property sector. We also talked about how in such a busy space, it can be confusing as to which product is right for a business. Kylie shares great insights in how to make this decision, ensuring that your people and processes are ready for changes. Understanding that if you are an early adopter that things are not going to be a smooth run. Most importantly however, COVID has shown us that we need to move off legacy systems onto platforms that will help us build stronger connections with our clients and develop hybrid working structures. Kylie is also a board member of Rise. Rise is a movement in real estate that is 'for good'. We work to improve and grow our industry, to move away from one-dimensional chasing of transactions and GCI, towards rounded human relationships that support wellness, mindfulness and performance, great service for our clients and better outcomes for our teams, our families and ourselves. The real estate industry has a shocking legacy of stress, burnout and even suicide brought on by us chasing, and rewarding, the wrong goals. We are working to change this and invite you to #risewithus. The Rise conference is on the 5th of May, to book go to https://riseconference.com.au/rise2021-conference/ Kylie's has the ability to cut through all the buzz words and make it easy for us non-techies. She is passionate about innovation and improvement through innovation. A brilliant, knowledgeable woman pushing boundaries.
